Taking Friday off was a good thing. I feel shifted to a better place, although i'm not really sure how i managed it. Housework has started back up a bit, despite the heat. I started a painting. The hassock cosy has 3.5 squares to go on the top before i start piecing it together. The altered shirt has an ironed crease where i need to hem. My "morning writing" was not as articulate as i might have liked, but it did go to a deeper place than i have recently.

There's nothing on my immediate life horizon (other than significant challenges at work) that stands out particularly. Christine will travel to NC to help her siblings relocate her mother to a assisted living facility: i will stay home and keep the cats company. I've scheduled a number of four day weekends and find my mind turning to renting a rug cleaner (although i may do that when Christine is out of town).

The heat of this weekend probably "excuses" me from worrying about my physical condition which is extremely sedentary. That is something i must address.

Crochet has me in front of video entertainment. We watched "Grand Turino" last night, which was wonderful if rough. I've been watching "The Tudors," hoping that the general historical elements of the period are more accurate than not, while i know the story line has liberal edits. Christine had gotten "Daniel Boone" from Netflix: wikipedia helped there just as with "The Tudors." I also watched the first episode of "Buck Rogers" and find the series strangely compelling.

The usual evening cooling did not occur overnight, with a drop to our average high as the sun went down, and that held for some hours and then another slight drop in the pre dawn. The temperature is on the rise again. The forecast is for 101°F: i'm disappointed we weren't able to pull the temperature down in the apartment overnight. I suppose we'll go see a movie to escape and hang out in library or restaurant with wifi AND air conditioning.
